Yakima, Washington-based CubCrafters continues to make improvements to its already stellar-performing Carbon Cub series, announcing its third generation of the experimental versions of the tandem-seat taildragger. The Experimental Amateur Built EX-3 kit and Factory Experimental FX-3, which is built through CubCrafters’ builder-assist program, are both powered by CubCrafters four-cylinder CC363i engine, producing 186 hp. CubCrafters has developed its own engines since 2008, but the CC363i is a new model.
